Sick Day Lyrics by Fountains of Wayne

Sick Day Lyrics

    Check out the girl in the Harbor Tunnel
    Crawling to work six feet under
    And the day has barely begun
    They're all chewing gum

    And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station
    Lead us not into Penn Station
    Cause the best part's just begun
    We're all becoming one again

    And she's making the scene
    With the coffee and cream
    And the copy machine's not working
    She's a hell of a girl
    She's alone in the world
    And she likes to say hey good lookin
    She's on her way
    She's taking a sick day..soon

    And here is the man pushing paper past her
    Thinks up ways to make the day go faster
    But the day goes on and on
    He daydreams of his lawn
    And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over
    The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover
    Til the path train finally comes
    The platform's full of bums again

    And she's making the scene
    With the coffee and cream
    And the copy machine's not working
    She's a hell of a girl
    She's alone in the world
    And she likes to say hey good lookin
    She's on her way
    She's taking a sick day..soon

    And she's taking her time
    As she's tossing a dime
    At the man in the cardboard coffin
    It doesn't have to be fine
    She's ahead of the line
    And doesn't have to be here too often
    She's making a play
    She's taking a sick day..soon
